Wolfgang Hampel. Founder of Betty MacDonald Fan Club and Betty MacDonald Society for Betty MacDonald Fans all over the world.
Wolfgang Hampel interviewed Betty MacDonald's family and other famous writers and artists.
Wolfgang Hampel's Betty MacDonald and Ma and Pa Kettle biography and Betty MacDonald Interviews are very popular all over the world.
Wolfgang Hampel is also famous for his satirical poems and stories.

With charm, humor, and deep understanding, a Japanese American woman
tells how it was to grow up on Seattle's waterfront in the 1930s and to
be subjected to "relocation" dring World War II. Along with some
120,000 other persons of Japanese ancestry-77,000 of whom were U.S.
citizens-she and her family were uprooted from their home and imprisoned
in a camp.

In this book, first published in 1953, she provides a unique
personal account of these experiences.

"Monica Sone's account of life in the relocation camps is both fair
and unsparing. It is also deeply touching, and occasionally
hilarious."-New York Herald Tribune

"The deepest impression that this unaffected, honest little story made on me was of smiling courage."-San Francisco Chronicle

I was rereading your book Nisei Daughter and I have to tell you that
I agree with your many international fans. I wished I could read many
more books written by great author and unique personality Monica Sone.

I also agree with the New York Herald Tribune review of Nisei
Daughter: Monica Sone's account of life in the relocation camps is both
fair and unsparing. It is also deeply touching, and occasionally
hilarious.

Yes, that's it! Deeply touching, also occassionally hilarious! When
I'm reading your great book ( Nisei Daughter belong to the VERY few
books I'm reading over and over again ) I'm really deeply touched. I'm
with you and your great family. I adore your outstanding book and even
much more I adore your unique personality. You are a genius but very
human and warm with a deep understanding and a golden heart.

The first time I heard your very warm voice I was lost. To me it's
the most beautiful voice in the whole world. Voice and personality fit
together in just a perfect way.

Thanks a million for your friendship.

Although we are far away you and your family are always in our thoughts.
